The time periods for receiving results are slightly different for a pay-per-shop and an annual pre-paid shop. 

If you select a pay-per-shop subscription, your shop time period will take place between the day you made the purchase and the day before your subscription is set to renew, based on the frequency you selected (monthly or every 2 weeks). For example, if you purchased a monthly shop on October 9th, you can expect your location(s) to be shopped and receive results in the time period of October 9th - November 8th. 

If you select an annual pre-paid subscription, your shop time period for a monthly shop will take place between the first day and last day of the month following the month that you purchased the subscription. For example, if you purchased a pre-paid plan with monthly shops on October 9th, you can expect your location(s) to be shopped and receive results in the time period of November 1st - November 30, and so on for each of the pre-paid shop time periods. 

There are factors that cause the variation of completion within the time period, such as receiving the approved filled out forms from your welcome package in a timely manner. We also need to determine the best shoppers, verify their availability, and educate them about the shop requirements. Your specific geographical location(s) will also affect this – those in outlying/rural may take longer.

We have more than 400,000 unique shoppers in North America, and we collect a lot of demographic data about them. We assign them based on their previous work for us, geographic proximity to each location, and the overall profile of your typical customers.

We take great pride in ensuring that each of our mystery shoppers has a complete understanding of the industry and expectations of the customer journey. Before beginning a mystery shopping assignment, our mystery shoppers are given a detailed brief which outlines their mission, scenario, and expectations of the mystery shop. 

Not at this time. Our questionnaires are designed with our industry experience in mind, ensuring that they are efficient and provide high-quality data.

In your welcome email you will receive an Excel document to specify the location details for the shop types that you purchased. If you are getting shopped via phone or website, simply enter your phone number or website URL instead. 

At checkout, you'll provide the frequency information for your shop type, and you'll have two options to pick from: one shop monthly,  or one shop every two weeks. A location can have more than one shop type that each counts as one mystery shop.
